The Feasibility of PFAS Treatment in Municipal Wastewater Effluent - Live Webinar

Member fee: 0.00
Non-Member fee: $35.00

1.2 Contact Hours towards CWEA Certifications: TBD

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals found in consumer and industrial products, posing challenges for wastewater treatment due to their low concentration and high treatment costs. This study examines how EfOM, particularly dissolved organic carbon (DOC), competes with PFAS for adsorption sites in granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange (IX) resin systems. Additionally, the research explores the potential regulatory implications of new EPA water quality criteria and the economic feasibility of PFAS removal. Findings will guide wastewater agencies in assessing PFAS treatability and the cost-effectiveness of adsorption-based treatment solutions.

In this webinar, attendees will learn the following: 

Understand the challenges of PFAS removal in wastewater effluent and the role of adsorption technologies.
Analyze how EfOM and DOC impact the effectiveness of PFAS adsorption using GAC and IX resin.
Examine the regulatory landscape, including EPA’s draft water quality criteria for PFAS and its potential impact on wastewater agencies.
Evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of PFAS treatment strategies in municipal wastewater effluent.

Registrants who view the live webinar to see the slides and hear the audio and then enter the correct attention check code (directions below) will receive 1.2 contact hours towards CWEA's certifications; TBD 

To receive your contact hours for viewing the live webinar, please note the two (2) different attention check codes that will be displayed at two different points during the webinar in the top left or right corner of the presentation for approximately 90 seconds.  Please enter these codes as 1st attention check code – 2nd attention check code (XXXX-XXXX) in the Attention Check Code component under the "Contents" tab.  

Please note, all user activity of CWEA certification holders on the Online Wastewater Education Network is subject to the CWEA Code of Ethics standards for professional conduct and ethics. Certification holders should receive credit for a training only once within the same contact hour period. Any attempt to undermine the certification process may be subject to ethics procedures and possible sanctions. It is not possible to receive contact hours for both attending the live webinar and viewing the recording.  

Once you have entered the correct attendance check codes, you will be able to create and download an electronic certificate of completion under the "Contents" tab.
